Christmas Countdown Ornament Gift Card

Did you know Christmas is less than 3 months away? Today on my blog and on the CutCardStock blog I am continuing my Christmas Countdown to encourage you to start early with your holiday projects to avoid the last minute stress.

My favorite cardstock is CutCardStock's Stardream Metallic and on this ornament gift card holder I used both their Jupiter Red and Antique Gold. The ornament, top and hanging charm were cut with a die by Emily More Designs I found in the Starry Night Creations booth at a stamp show.

Sometimes even gorgeous metallic cardstock needs some texture to make it more interesting. I used my dies from Crealies and the rubber mat in my Spellbinders Platinum Six to add texture and a hidden holiday message on the ornament. For step by step instructions on how to make this ornament gift card holder, visit the CutCardStock blog here. 

I also added texture to the back of the ornament with Poppy Stamp's Scandinavian Snowflake Plate. Then I added a piece of white cardstock to write a personal message on and sign:

In no time at all I have another Christmas project done for my holiday stash. Less stress and more joy- my goal for you and me!
